what are you looking for in terms of environment? Do you want surf? mountains? nature? What are you trying to maximise?

beach primarily but we love mountains and nature too 🤗
Head down Uvita or Dominical area. Not far from all that. If you want to dive, there's Cano island as well and it's close to the butcoin jungle crowd.
If you like sailing, take some time to head north to flamingo area.
CR is known for bitcoin jungle and they've been doing amazing things for years but there are more bitcoin endeavours starting in other places too.
great thanks. where are the bitcoin jungle guys actually located?!
is there a site for finding apartments? or is Airbnb the best bet?
and getting around - you recommend using taxis? rent a scooter? buy a scooter?
we're thinking of 3 months but would love to spend longer if possible. 6 months is our sweet spot for trips like this.
The bitcoin jungle guys are in Uvita. Not sure if they have a specific location. nostr:npub1spdnfacgsd7lk0nlqkq443tkq4jx9z6c6ksvaquuewmw7d3qltpslcq6j7 probably the best person to talk to.
Where I live up north, most people use air BnB because other rentals are commonly organised through local whatsapp groups which is not exactly accessible. You could also try looking at the real estate listing sites as they do lots of property management.
I don't know how things are in Uvita area but up here, have heard comments about lack of occupancy at the moment and pricing is high so recommend pushing on price a little.
As to transport, if you don't have something, you will miss out. There are taxis and "Collectivos" - just random people who drive around and you ride share but some places you might want to see could be more accessible with a 4x4 or scooter. There are some places that rent out the little suzuki Jimny or Daihatsu Terrios at reasonable rates but like everywhere past few years, car rental has gone a little crazy so I'd recommend you try looking on the ground rather than booking beforehand.
Keep in mind in most places on the coast, as soon as high season starts (december), you're bargaining power evaporates!
